The Twin States received their first shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, about 12,675 doses in New Hampshire and 1,950 in Vermont.
Meanwhile, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center was preparing to receive an estimated 850 doses from New Hampshire’s allotment within about a day.
“This is an important milestone and an essential step toward defeating a virus that’s devastated families and businesses throughout Vermont and around the globe,” Gov. Phil Scott said in a statement. “There is no better, safer or faster way to defeat this virus and work to rebuild our economy than a successful effort to make vaccines available to every single Vermonter.”
